World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 104 The changing world (2)

Arcadia, the crystallization of virtual reality technology.

Arcadia itself had an inestimable value, but the potential and scalability of the virtual reality technology that makes up Arcadia was beyond imagination.

[Can you build a remote work system using virtual reality technology?]

[The Ministry of National Defense formally requests your company to review whether it is possible to implement a real battlefield in virtual reality to increase combat power usable in our military. ]

[Hey, I'm filming a movie. Is it possible to implement a specific scene using virtual reality?]

[Can you create a training program related to patient surgery? If that is possible, it could save the lives of so many people.]

From combat training that embodies a large-scale battlefield, to leisure sports, medical film education, and more. Companies and organizations in numerous fields are flooded with calls asking if they can introduce virtual reality technology. However, there was something needed to satisfy these needs.

Virtual reality integrated production system Lucid Dream.

A production machine that realizes reality in virtual reality. Dreamer, which can access virtual reality made up of data, was sold to many people after its official release, but it was not this lucid dream. This device is limitedly used only by Arcadia's development team. It has already been unveiled at various fairs and the public has known about the characteristics of the machine, but there was one stumbling block in the official release.

[Lucid Dream, which Arcadia is using for content development, is a product entirely developed and produced by Ajin Electronics and Corporation Argos. For related inquiries, it would be more appropriate to make an inquiry to the company in question, and regarding the release of the product, it will be possible only if legislation is first passed on the virtual reality bill currently pending in the National Assembly...] Virtual reality

bill.

The world is changing day by day due to virtual reality, but the legislation for this has not yet been properly established. In fact, there was a big problem with the official release of Dreamer because the relevant laws and regulations themselves did not exist. However, too many people watched it with interest for the state to step in and sanction it, so the relevant government departments couldn't help but give permission. Considering that Korea holds the title of Arcadia's second release country, this was a very absurd situation.

[The effect of virtual reality on the human body has not yet been clarified! Even now, we must stop using Arcadia and all virtual reality and confirm that there is no harm through thorough clinical trials and investigations!]

[Are you crazy? Even if you pass the relevant legislation right away and spare no support for industry promotion, you can't help but hold on to your ankles in the yard where it's not enough? Then, what are you going to do if another country loses the lead in the virtual reality industry? Yes?]

The virtual reality bill, which had a history of being rejected once even in the United States, the country that was first released and developed. In the end, the Democratic Party, which voted against the majority, suffered a huge political blow, but the executive order issued ex officio by the US president laid the foundation for active support and revival of the virtual reality industry in the United States. put However, Korea was still Muju communism itself with no relevant laws at all.

“So.... For now, we are putting aside all related inquiries and cooperation proposals from various companies, but we will have to announce a specific release schedule sooner or later.”

Remote video conferencing. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of the company, was reporting on love calls from numerous companies and organizations that were flying like crazy in relation to the current lucid dream. And the people whose faces are reflected on the monitor while receiving her report. They were none other than President Lee Mi-yeon's employers and the actual owners of Arcadia Co., Ltd.

Mikhail, the CEO of Corporation Argos.

Jenika, the head of Silico The Bio Industries.

Lee Jun-hee, chairman of Ajin Electronics.

Software and Platform Bio & Pharmaceutical Electronics and Semiconductor. They, who can be said to be the rulers of giant corporations dominating the global market in their respective industries, each threw a word after hearing the words of President Lee Mi-yeon.

[Hmm... First of all, it's only a matter of time before the bill passes, given the current atmosphere in the US Congress. Since it has already been rejected once and has been severely beaten, the Democratic Party is also active in legislation. It will probably be officially launched in the US within the next quarter.]

Positive remarks from Mikhail, CEO of Corporation Argos. However, Chairman Lee Jun-hee frowned and muttered in a tired tone.

[Keuk..... It seems that Korea will be difficult for the time being. In the political world, it has spread to faction fights and is hesitant to pass the bill, but the protests of civic groups opposing it are intensifying.... First of all, we are looking at the numbers in various ways.] Unlike the United States, where the passage of related bills is counting down

. Korea is still struggling. Listening to the situation in Korea, Zenica, the head of Silicorp, muttered with an expression of incomprehension.

[Still? Japan and the European Union have already completed the related legislation, and at least the related legislation has been passed in the Arab world, which has not yet been released. Isn't it too late

? Korea's legislature, which has entered a fierce competition to preoccupy, but is still busy with carefree political debate. At Zenica's criticism for such a situation, Chairman Lee Jun-hee said with a bitter expression, as if he had nothing to say.

[What can I do? That's the current situation in Korea.]

Those who focus on partisan fighting and are always busy with the politics of division and contention. In the end, it was petty people who bleed because of that, but it wasn't something that could be helped by Chairman Lee Jun-hee's hands, so Zenica didn't say anything more.

[Anyway, there are plenty of countries begging to sell Lucid Dream, so it doesn't matter. But to be honest, the longer Korea's release is delayed, the more tangible and intangible damage Korea will suffer. Would that be okay

? Perhaps, when lucid dream is officially sold, there will be people who use it to implement virtual reality content for their own purposes. Beings who use their infinite imagination to create tremendous added value.

That is the Creator.

It was frustrating to see the government sitting still and watching the fighting of the National Assembly members, even if the state stepped in and started nurturing these talented people.

[Please say so. They are idiots who don't even realize what they are doing. Lucid Dream is released first in Japan, and once it's smashed, you'll come to your senses

. Chairman Lee Jun-hee didn't want to feed the National Assembly members who were still struggling with their madness, so he thought of just watching. The emergence of creators who will actively implement virtual reality, and the powerful industrial competitiveness and added value they will create, will lead to a collapse in competition with neighboring countries such as Japan.

[Well... if that's the case. I see.]

Jenika has no reason to care so much about Korea. At Chairman Lee Jun-hee's words, she also nodded without saying anything. President Lee Mi-yeon, who judged that the related story had been completed to some extent, continued to speak.

“And as an additional agenda... I think the share of the 8 continents in Arcadia has been completed to some extent. Now, for small countries to be released, I think we can set them to start from continents with similar cultures.”

[Has the real-time translation system not been introduced yet?]

“First of all, we are testing the system sent by Argos in advance.”

A real-time interpretation and translation system developed by Corporation Argos. When asked if this system, which covers most of the existing languages, could be applied, CEO Lee Mi-yeon told Zenica as if she remembered.

“Ah, in order to fully apply the interpretation and translation system, Alice’s computational capacity must be increased by 45% more than it is now.”

[okay. I'll talk to Ajin Electronics about that and expand the facility.]

“Thank you.”

President Lee Mi-yeon looks at Jenica, who nods her head willingly at her words, and expresses her gratitude with a smile. As the related meeting neared its end, Mikhail asked.

[Oh, and I recently heard a story from Arcadia's US branch... Is there any problem with the two continents that are being serviced in Korea?]

“A problem? What do you mean?”

[Hmm.... I don't know because I didn't hear it correctly, but the company employees there are crying every day under heavy workload...] [Ah, I

know why .]

Jenica. She gritted her teeth with a frown on her face.

[It's because that damn bastard's shit is running amok.]

[Yeah...? What is that...?]

Mikhail with an incomprehensible expression. But Jennica muttered to herself as if she didn't care about him.

[Did you say Dex? I don't really like how he's doing the same thing as that porpoise pup, but Jack enjoys watching him again..... Anyway, I wasn't letting the damn porpoise get involved in the game... ..]

Jenica continues to grumble until the end of the meeting. However, whether or not he knew her heart, the troublemaker was quietly sitting in the lecture room, bruising with a bored expression.

“Hey Jaeyoung...?”

Jae-Kyun continues to call Jae-Young in a quiet voice as if whispering. However, Jaeyoung was lost in thought, staring blankly out the window.

“Jaeyoung! hey! Yoon Jae-young!”

After calling him several times, Jae-gyun, who could not stand it, grabbed him and shook him, and Jae-yeong came back to his senses.

“uh? what's the matter?”

Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled expression. When he finally realized that everyone in the classroom was focusing their attention on him and was perplexed, Professor Kim Tae-hoon looked at Jae-young and asked.

“Student Jaeyoung Yoon, were you listening to me?”

“Uh... I’m sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while...”

“I asked if you had time on Friday afternoon.”

“Friday afternoon...?”

Like any college student, Jae-young made Friday a public lecture with careful timetable distribution. He answered Professor Kim Tae-hoon's question with a half-curious, half-anxious face.

“There is no lecture that day...”

“Then could you come to my lab that day? My disciple who came last time wants to meet and talk with you, and he's begging you.”

“A disciple...?”

Jae-young asks with a puzzled expression when he hears that Professor Kim Tae-hoon's student wants to see him. However, Professor Kim Tae-hoon's continued explanation made Jae-young realize who he was at once.

“The Arcadia employee who came to the classroom at that time and measured your sync rate.”

“Oh, is that him...?”

He described Jaeyoung as a rare genius. That day, making all sorts of fuss, he even handed over his business card, asking to contact him separately, but his business card went straight to the trash.

“Why am I...?”

“I don’t know that either. But he asked very persistently. I even handed over my business card, but you didn't contact me, so I thought it was a roundabout refusal, but you look so desperate that I'm asking for your intention.”

His disciple persisted so much that even Professor Kim Tae-Hoon surrendered. But to be honest, Jaeyoung was reluctant to meet him again.

“Let’s meet again, shall we? I don't think it will harm you.”

A researcher at Arcadia Co., Ltd. Whatever it was, as a student of this department of virtual reality, he was a role model and an object of envy, so Professor Kim Tae-hoon invited Jae-young to meet him with a pure heart. And although Jaeyoung didn't really want what the department advisor said, he had no choice but to nod because he had no reason to refuse.

“All right.”

“okay. Then I will tell you to come on Friday.”

However, Professor Kim Tae-hoon did not know what kind of result this arrangement would bring.
